Patcher doesn't work?

Question

I downloaded KSP 1.0 fairly recently and now the 1.0.1 patch is here and I would really like to download it. I've kinda sorta ran into an issue along the way, I don't exactly know how to rectify this issue but the Patcher highlights 'Unable to authenticate with the server: Received malformed data from the server: File not found.' in red. Any fixes? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Double checked my password to see if that was the issue, I did have it typed in wrong at first, but even after I fixed it I'm getting the same issue. The "Checking for Updates" also doesn't go away when I use the launcher.

I'm having the same problem I submitted a Problem Report to Squad. Hopefully they will sort it out soon.

It appears that the latest version's patcher download only results in a broken zip file now (before, it downloaded a patcher that gets hung). For anyone having trouble with the patcher and have any KSP Store copy (or possibly GOG copy), download the new version by hand.

I have a feeling it'll be a while before we get a working patcher again.

I really would advise against sharing hashes. It isn't that hard to open patcher.exe in a debug program, determine the algorithms used in hashing, and then simply brute force what are likely to be simple passwords. http://arstechnica.com/ posts a new article about the matter every couple months.
